Published: 1 year ago | 0 comments

More than 100 Duke students and alumni convened recently at Yext in New York City for the 17th DukeGEN Startup Showcase.

The Startup Showcase event has been held in cities around the world, most often in San Francisco or New York City, both areas that are home to a large concentration of Duke alumni. The events, held by the Duke Global Entrepreneurship Network, allow Dukies interested in innovation and entrepreneurship to connect and feature a handful of pitches by Duke startups.

At the most recent Startup Showcase, ten startups pitched and received questions and feedback from a panel of Duke-affiliated judges. Following the pitch portion of the event, the judges deliberated and selected a winning startup.

That winner was Win-Win, founded by former Duke football player Mike T. Brown (T’09). Win-Win, which was also selected as the audience favorite, is a platform that allows users to play fantasy sports for prizes while also donating to charity. Win-Win is also a Duke Angel Network portfolio company.
